South Wales Police have said there were around 275,000 people in Cardiff city centre on Saturday night, following the Wales Ireland #SixNations game. A LOT of drinking going on. No segregation of fans. They have also said that there no major incidents. None. Zero. #Rugby ♥️

This one has really upset me. JPR. What a player. I mean, WHAT a player. There has never been a more fearless competitor. In an era of true legends of the game, he stood out. Those three letters. Iconic. Rugby has lost one of it’s very, very best today. But what a legacy. ❤️

When I started doing comedy fifteen years ago, one of my dreams, the big one, if I’m being honest, was to write and act in my own BBC One sitcom series. That dream came true today. I’m so happy. Lots of people have helped make this happen. They know who they are. Mammoth lives 🦣

And now Barry John, gone. This is another, sad, sad day for Welsh rugby, and for the rugby family as a whole. WHAT a player. Mercurial. Ghosting through disbelieving defenders. Sublimely talented. Nos da, Barry. Thanks for the memories. ❤️

I wonder at what point the fact that #OwenFarrell is a physically skilled #rugby player gets outweighed by the fact that he's a dirty cheap shot artist, who regularly puts fellow players health & careers in jeopardy?Should have been properly clocked a long time ago. Then sacked.

An awful lot of people slagging John Inverdale for his Wimbledon coverage being absolutely dreadful. Please, tennis fans, don't take it personally. His rugby coverage is significantly worse.

Okay @bbcstrictly I am available. And I’ve watched every episode of yours ever. And I’ve been to the live show. And I have a lifesize Bruce in my bar. But please don’t let that put any pressure on you…

Dear Jerry Guscott, Martin Johnson, etc al, why do Wales owe England fuck all because England gave away a penalty? If you don't want Wales not taking a quick penalty kick, don't give way penalties. Simple. 😁 #SixNationsRugby

I really am blown away by, and incredibly grateful for, the sheer amount of love for #Mammoth . A lot of good people worked very hard to make it. Now all we need to do is convert of all this good will into a second series…🧡🦣 All episodes available now on @BBCiPlayer

When someone in #EddieJones position publicly accuses a referee of deliberate bias, he makes the job of every referee, coach & parent so much more difficult. What a twat of a man. England won. Deservedly so. Say that other shit in private. @WorldRugby will, of course, do nothing

I love pubs. I love a pint. I mean really love them. We have the best pubs in the world. We need to cherish them. If I made a podcast about pubs, you’d listen, right? About great nights, and great characters. Maybe with a guest, or two? As long as they LOVE pubs too. Yes?🍺🥃🍷👇

The people defending Farrell because he’s rarely carded, are missing the fact that that’s the point. Here is (another) one of his non cards. And look at his reaction to the refs decision. That’s not a bloke who thinks he needs to change the way he plays the game.

Bloody hell. What a game of rugby. Fiji and Wales so well matched. Cruel that someone had to lose that one. But very glad that it was Fiji. Welsh tackling was, and had to be, immense. I think both of these sides could progress. I certainly hope they do. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇫🇯 #RWC

One day a #NewZealand rugby side won't cheat. Our day a referee won't let a New Zealand rugby team get away with cheating. Unfortunately neither of those days are today.

In twenty years of going to The Hay Festival I’ve stood in a line to get a book signed by the author a grand total of three times; Eric Sykes, Ronnie Corbett and this absolute gentleman. Michael Parkinson was hands down the best at what he did. No question. This made my year. 💜

If I wrote a book about my various escapades and some of the characters I've been (un) lucky enough to spend some time with, over the years, would anybody be interested in reading it? It would be funny and interesting, I'd imagine. And I'm a really good writer. @distantpod types?

In the cold (sober) light of day, I have to say that was a magnificent performance by Wales, last night. Every facet of the game. And they are improving all the time. Warren and his team have really put the hwyl back into the side. I love it. Diolch yn fawr, pawb. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #RWC #Wales

Well I believe there was a lack of evidence. Incidentally, if you're wondering where Downing Street is, it's the one under constant surveillance by @metpoliceuk cameras. To find Number 10, look for the big black door, with a PC from the Met standing outside it, 24 hours a day. 👍

BREAKING: The Metropolitan Police says it will not investigate allegations of a party at Downing Street due to an "absence of evidence" and a force policy not to investigate retrospective breaches of coronavirus regulations. Read more here:

Full disclosure, as a Welsh man I will not be overly upset if Italy win #EURO2020 although if England do win, but then when Raheem Sterling lifts the cup, all the players & Southgate take a knee, as every gammon's head explodes simultaneously, like in Kingsman, it will be superb.

Lot of @distantpod listeners think there are only 11 people in #Wales . Did some radio in Cardiff earlier, then bumped into @NevilleSouthall , Wales' best ever keeper & Jonny Owen, the world's best sports documentary maker. Walking home I bumped into some bloke called @TomShanklin
